A pair of crashes has caused closures to two Cariboo highways on Wednesday morning, Jan. 7.
Around 6:45 a.m., a multi-vehicle incident took place on Highway 5 about eight kilometres south of Clearwater. As a result, the highway is closed from between Hummingbird Road and Pumping Station Road for a 13.5 kilometres stretch.
A detour is in effect but the next update isn’t expected until 12:30 p.m.
It’s unclear how the incident happened or if anyone is injured.
A multi-vehicle crash also shut down Highway 1 westbound, west of Kamloops earlier this morning. The westbound lanes were closed for a 10.5 km stretch from between Holloway Drive and Savona Access Road.
